I've just spent two hours trying to find the procedure to set a netbios name on a Linux machine, for use in a Samba network. Can someone point me to the procedure? I'd appreciate it.

Don Henson In the simple case (as root) edit /etc/samba/smb.conf and add a line near the top like:

netbios name = <NAME_OF_THIS_MACHINE>

Then rcsmb stop rcnmb stop (This stops the deamons)

Then testparm to see if you've done anything really stupid by accident.

Then rcsmb restart rcnmb restart

Should do it.

This isn't usually necessary though.

Yeah, I figured it out. I knew it was easy but I had some kind of mental block. Thanks to all who responded. Don Henson -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
